    But to answer your question, Pew Research did a study including all ethnic groups:

    Of course whites come out the worse, with blacks coming in second. Did you read my first link on the Implicit Association Test? Not all it is cracked up to be. Here is another link:

    For years, this popular test measured anyone’s racial bias. But it might not work after all.

    But let me ask you a question. I do not find women with dark skin attractive, never did. Whether black, Latino, or Italian (had a lot of dark skinned Italian women in my old neighborhood). I'm attracted to very light skin women with light brown or blonde hair. Is that bias racist?

      No one has said that you are biased.

        You used the phrase "implicit bias among whites" suggesting that guilt is derived from skin color rather than from actions.

          All the phrase "implicit bias among whites" suggests is that some whites have implicit bias. It says nothing about how that implicit bias is derived, nor anything at all about "guilt".

            Your links suggest that unconscious bias may be more against one's out-group than against particular races, and that unconscious bias is difficult to measure in an individual.

            I don't have a problem with either hypothesis, and look forward to hearing more along those lines.

            But let me ask you a question. I do not find women with dark skin attractive, never did. Whether black, Latino, or Italian (had a lot of dark skinned Italian women in my old neighborhood). I'm attracted to very light skin women with light brown or blonde hair. Is that bias racist?
            No, I wouldn't consider that bias racist. Even if it is, it's not racist in a bad way (at least not for the darker skinned women ).

              The fact that you seem to think that only whites have "implicit bias" makes your objections ring hollow.

                If it seems to you that I think only whites have implicit bias, you should read more carefully.

                  Because you literally said "implicit bias among whites".

                    I 'literally said' "Given that most doctors are white, and relatively few are black, implicit bias among whites is probably more of a concern in the medical profession." (Not that it should need to be said, but implied at the end of that sentence was "than implicit bias among blacks.")

                    I then added a link that proved that implicit bias does NOT only exist among whites.

                      The problem today is too many people have the belief "ALL whites have implicit bias." I'm guilty simply because I am white.

                        I don't know about where you are but around here, I would say most doctors are Indian.

                        And I wanted to point out the implicit white bias in your avatar!

                                Nope, It's worse! Now you are just using "blackface" on your white statue.
